Billy Ray Cyrus: Southern Rain CD
I wasn’t looking at my computer when I put on the Billy Ray Cyrus: Southern Rain CD so I practically jumped when I heard Billy Ray thanking me listening. I didn’t realize the CD had a CD-Rom element to it that begins with him doing a video greeting …
Orgy (electronic rock band)
My first real introduction to the electronic rock band Orgy was when I was around fourteen years old. While that was a couple years after their first studio album Candyass was released in 1998, they were still fairly popular amongst a lot of teens especially since their vocalist …
Sublime - Chica Me Tipo (Song)
Chica Me Tipo is a song by Sublime and the thirteenth song on their first release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a simple guitar riff, I must admit that I actually find the introduction of this track to be one of the more interesting moments on the …
Meet Miley Cyrus Album
A lot of people try to trash talk Miley Cyrus for being a rebellious Disney Star who has made a lot of mistakes in the public eye by posting really bad pictures of herself on public social networking sites. Although I do not think Miley Cyrus is a great …
Metallica - All Nightmare Long (Song)

“Tommy Henriksen” by Tommy Henriksen (1999 Self-Titled Album)
Before I review this album, it is important to mention that I don’t typically listen to this style of music. I’m a metalhead and also listen to a lot of gothic music, but every once in a while I’ll end up listening to something completely unexpected and far outside …
Cradle Of Filth Lovecraft And Witchhearts
This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …
Peeps For Sale: Ghost Peeps CD
This was Ghost Peeps first album - one maybe two people heard. Oh and myself. The production quality is not as good as it could be but that only adds to some of the charm. This 8 song set only last 19 minutes and in that time we hear …
Trinidad James - All Gold Everything

Preliator by Globus
I am as gullible to any “Earth Shattering” sound explosion of Orchestral music as a doomsayer is to the End Of The World. I am already a huge fan of some of the best film score writers such as Danny Elfman …
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Overview —“ Highway To Hell, AC/DC’s sixth effort, is my personal favorite record out all of all of their releases, whether with Bon Scott or with Brian Johnson. Unfortunately, this record is the last to feature Bon Scott as AC/DC’s vocalist who unfortunately died the following year and was …
Star Trek: Generations Soundtrack
Out of all the Star Trek movie soundtracks, I consider this to be my favorite one with perhaps the only exception being Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The reason I enjoy this soundtrack so very much is because much of the music is incredibly rich and well crafted. …
Tainted Love (song by, Soft Cell)

“I Can’t Get Wit’ That” (1994): Jay-Z
Jay-Z
“I Can’t Get Wit’ That”
This is a very old and very rare Jay-Z music video and single from way back in 1994, before his rags-to-riches single “In My Lifetime”. Some say that this was rare and unreleased. It’s called “I Can’t Get Wit’ That” and to be perfectly honest, …

System Of A Down - System Of A Down
Overview —“ The self-titled debut album by System Of A Down definitely made a new mark on the genre of metal in my opinion. During the time of this album’s release, there honestly wasn’t a whole lot of good heavy music still going on like it had been during …
Green Day - Geek Stink Breath (Music Video)
Overview —“ Geek Stink Breath, the fourth music video released by Green Day marks the first music video for their forth album, Insomniac. Geek Stink Breath still has that very catchy vocal melody and style that Green Day had on the three music videos from Dookie which were Longview, …
That Old Feeling CD
This is a self review from a performer’s point of view.

Nelly Furtado singer

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
It is ten years ago now since Eminem released his first studio album in the form of The Slim Shady LP. The album was ground breaking in a number of ways, but for me personally it was the first rap album that I ever listened to. Back in 1999 …
It Stops Today by Colbie Caillat
The song It Stops Today has become my signature song and it is sung by one of my favorite singers, Colbie Caillat. I first heard this song after a break up and it spoke volumes as to where I was in my life. I had always depended on others …
Roland Cube 30X Guitar Amplifier

Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
Overview - Led Zeppelin II, the band’s second effort, expands on the brilliant songwriting they showcased on parts of their debut album as they abandon the majority of more straightforward and typical rock songs. In my opinion, this album really only contained one straightforward song while the rest of …

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
Overview - Fear Of The Dark, Iron Maiden’s ninth effort, follows with the traditional standards I have for an Iron Maiden album: great vocal performance, excellent guitar riffs, harmonies, and solos, and just great songwriting in general.

Until You (Song)- Billy Currington

All That I Can Say (song, Mary J. Blige)

Fancy by Reba McEntire
There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …
